Thank you for participating in your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit with North Olympic Healthcare Network as recommended by your primary care provider. Your provider understands that as we age our preventive care needs evolve and more attention needs to be given to our functional status and safety in addition to screening for certain diseases. Medicare recognizes this as well, and has developed a specific benefit called the Annual Wellness Visit that addresses these issues. Your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit includes the following elements: Establish or update your medical and family history Review and list other doctors and suppliers involved in providing your care Review and update all of your medications and supplements including vitamins - how often and much of each is taken Record measurements of height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure and other routine measurements Screening for loss of sensory acuity Screening for any cognitive impairment Establish a screening schedule or checklist for the next 5 to 10 years Provide personalized risk assessment, health advice, and appropriate referrals to health education or preventive services, i.e. smoking cessation, diet, etc. Discussion about Advanced Directives The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit does not have a co-pay requirement and does not include, or pay for, a physical exam and some lab work/blood draws. Specific health concerns are best addressed at another visit with your provider focused on those concerns. Your wellness visit is performed by a nurse specialist with collaboration and oversight by your primary care provider. Because of these specific Medicare requirements for this examination, we have enclosed a questionnaire for you to complete before the visit to assist us in your assessment. Please answer each question completely and return to NOHN as soon as possible. Once we have received your completed questionnaire, we will contact you about scheduling a special time for your Annual Wellness Visit with our nurse specialist: Pre-Visit Checklist Fill out questions in the enclosed packet Complete any ordered lab work as soon as possible
